The roadway to Omaha is formally underway.
The 2023 NCAA Department I baseball competition bracket was exposed Monday, as 64 groups compete to reach Charles Schwab Field Omaha in Nebraska and win the Male’s College World Series.
The competition starts Friday with the local round. The leading 16 seeds of the competition each host throughout the double-elimination round. Those that emerge from the local round will advance to the best-of-three very local.
The No. 1 general seed heading into the competition is Wake Forest, which controlled much of the routine season with a 47-10 record. Nevertheless, being the No. 1 group in the competition hasn’t been a promise just recently; the last 3 No. 1 seeds stopped working to make the Male’s College World Series, and Miami (Florida) is the only No. 1 seed to win everything in 1999.
